Chapter 5565: Chapter 5565: Flirting with Her Again
The elders of the Xia family were formidable individuals, and he just couldn’t hold up against them.
Ye Jian collapsed onto the bed laughing. Even through the phone, she could sense the extraordinariness of the Xia family’s elders.
"I’ll come over in the afternoon to pay a New Year’s visit. Will Old Man Xia and my future father-in-law be free? Are there many visitors at home?" The first day meant he had to rush over to pay his respects to his future father-in-law, with an attitude of reverence and humility. He needed to be honest and earnest, to show his future father-in-law that he was sincere and would cherish his precious daughter for a lifetime!
This was Xia Jinyuan’s first step in his plan.
Ye Jian also looked forward to him coming over, "Usually, we have guests in the morning, and there don’t seem to be any arrangements for the afternoon. I need to ask Uncle Fu first."
Whether there were visitors or not, Uncle Fu would know best, because... all the calls that came before the New Year to pay respects to Old Man Xia were answered by Uncle Fu.
"Alright, let me know the time later, I still want to meet with my future father-in-law sooner." At this moment, Xia Jinyuan was like a soldier with high morale, determined to secure his future father-in-law’s approval to marry his sweetheart sooner rather than later.
Future father-in-law, please look favorably upon your honest son-in-law and extend your gracious hand.
His future father-in-law, Mr. Fu, was not keen on extending any gracious hand!
Ye Jian was also worried that Xia Jinyuan might say something that would make the Xia family elders uncomfortable, "Are your grandparents around you? Be careful with your words."
She whispered a reminder, "My father really didn’t give you a hard time, don’t let Grandpa and Grandma misunderstand."
Because he cared, he was worried. Xia Jinyuan understood all this, "I made sure to speak outside, and, I have been very careful. What else should I be mindful of? Worried that I’ll ask for a kiss over the phone again?"
Ye Jian: "..."
There he went again, flirting with her!
"Alright, I’ll go ask Uncle Fu now, and I’ll message you back later." Not wanting to be flirted with, Ye Jian hung up the phone hurriedly; she truly went downstairs to ask Uncle Fu, not deceiving Xia Jinyuan.
Ending the call swiftly, without giving the other party a chance to keep her on the line, Ye Jian went downstairs with a smile.
At the other end, Xia Jinyuan, looking at the "beep beep" of the ended call, couldn’t help but laugh, "Little one, you’ve really become clever. You can guess what I’m about to do instantly."
Holding the phone that was slightly warm from talking, Xia Jinyuan talked to himself, "That won’t do, she’s hiding everything, wouldn’t that diminish my charm? I’ll have to think of a way."
"Little Six! Are you thinking of running away?" A male voice called out, and Xia Jinyuan was dragged away to play by his cousins again.
Ye Jian was asking Uncle Fu, "Uncle Fu, will Grandpa have any visitors this afternoon?"
"Today afternoon? No, visitors coming to pay New Year’s respects to Old Man Xia will generally start arriving tomorrow. Today it’s just the younger generation living in Dan Gui Garden." Uncle Fu laughed, "Why, is there an arrangement for this afternoon?"
"Little Six said he was coming over in the afternoon to pay a New Year’s visit. He was worried about disturbing Grandpa with home visitors, so I came to ask you in advance."
"How could that be disturbing? Old Man Xia is looking forward to the grandson-in-law’s visit. Last night, he secretly told me he wants to have the New Year’s Eve dinner with the grandson-in-law."
Old Man Xia usually wouldn’t share his worries with Chief Engineer Fu or Ye Jian, not wanting to worry the father and daughter, but he would talk with Uncle Fu, sharing his thoughts, and discussing what he was looking forward to. Uncle Fu knew much more than Ye Jian and her father.
"Okay, then I’ll go and let Grandpa and my father know." Ye Jian said with a smile, looking down, "I also have to get my father to go easy on him."
